Aura Nails 2025 - nails full of energy, color and emotion

What are aura nails?

The aura nails style involves creating a colorful aura effect—typically featuring a centrally illuminated color that gently fades towards the edges of the nail, forming a mesmerizing gradient. It's an inverted ombré in its most sensual and creative form. The colors blend seamlessly, creating a mystical glow—much like the energy each of us radiates.

Depending on the choice of colors, aura nails can be subtle and ethereal or intense and full of power. Each manicure is unique, reflecting the emotions, character, and mood of the person wearing it.

Aura nails 2025 – trends you need to know

Aura nails styling is not just a fashionable manicure—it's a personal choice of colors, emotions, and expression. In 2025, this trend is evolving in surprising directions, offering new ways to express oneself through the art of nail decoration. Discover the four key trends that will dominate the aura nails trend in the coming months:

1. Contrast and emotions – color as the language of the soul

This season, contrasts are no longer just embellishments—they become a means of expression. Aura nails 2025 loves unconventional combinations: neon pink in the center of the nail that gently transitions into milky blue? Or perhaps warm yellow sinking into cool violet?

These combinations not only catch the eye but also carry an emotional message. Such a manicure can convey mood, character, or even... an inner transformation.

2. The energy of color – your aura speaks through hues

Colors have power—they can calm, energize, highlight personality. In aura nails, each shade has significance:

• Pink – love, gentleness, openness of heart
• Blue – peace, harmony, balance
• Orange – enthusiasm, creativity, joy of life
• Purple – intuition, spirituality, mystery
• Green – regeneration, freshness, harmony with nature

When choosing a color for your styling, don't rely solely on aesthetics. Ask yourself: What energy do I want to wear on my nails today?

3. Almonds, squares, and ovals – shape matters

The aura nails effect needs appropriate space to fully develop its potential. It looks best on:

• almond-shaped nails – slender and feminine
• oval – classic and elegant
• squares with rounded corners – modern and graphic

Why is this important? Because the right shape makes the gradient look more natural, and the color "spreads" more smoothly.

4. Special effects – because the aura can shine

In 2025, aura nails don't end with color. The styling gains 3D dimension, depth, and noble shine thanks to subtle additions:

• glitter – ideal for embedding in the gradient or under the top coat
• iridescent powders – giving the effect of "aura in motion"
• miniature crystals – placed centrally or asymmetrically
• flash or holo effects – for those who like to shine without compromises

Thanks to these additions, the manicure becomes not only beautiful but downright... magical.

  

 

How to create aura nails without an airbrush?

Aura nails without an airbrush? Yes, it's totally possible! Here's our step-by-step guide to achieving this trendy effect at home or in the salon.

Step 1: Prep the nails – clean base is key

• Shape the nails into almond, oval, or soft square.
• Gently buff the nail plate with a buffer block.
• Degrease the nails with a nail cleaner.
• Apply a thin layer of primer and let it air-dry.
• Use a hybrid base coat and cure under a UV/LED lamp.

Step 2: Apply the base color

Choose a soft shade of hybrid nail polish. Apply 1–2 coats, curing each layer under the lamp.

Step 3: Create the aura effect – it’s time for the “energy color”

• Use a fine nail art brush or dotting tool to place a drop of an intense color in the center of the nail.
• Blend it outward using an ombre sponge or blending brush.
• Want a stronger effect? Apply another layer of color and blend again.

Step 4: Lock in the look – let the aura shine!

Seal your design with a hybrid top coat. Choose between:

• a high-shine classic top,
• a top with opalescent or shimmering effect.

Cure under the lamp and, if needed, wipe off with cleaner. Done!

Pro tips from nail techs:

• Apply color in thin layers to avoid bulkiness.
• Match colors with similar undertones to make blending easier.
• Work one nail at a time for the best results.
